I was listening to 'I am a bird now' last week. I don't listen to it often (it's a burnt copy), but he does have an amazing voice - those nina simone comparisons are apt - and I think the album is very good overall; emotional but otherworldly.
I remember seeing him briefly in Steve Buscemi's film, The Animal Factory, when it was on TV once, playing a prison inmate - the scene I saw a little bit of was when he was singing for the prisoners in white-paint face make-up.
